Four Septembers ago, my husband and I were bundled up in a yurt in the Gobi Desert at the end of a trip around the world. Our journey had included 21 countries, both one- and two-humped camels, swims in the Nile and the Euphrates, and an escape from a herd of wild elephants. It had also included at least a dozen visits to the post offices of the world.
